The punch, by a Jets fan wearing a Wayne Chrebet jersey and team Zubaz camouflage pants, knocked the blond-haired woman back but not down. Witnesses said the trouble began inside and continued as fans were leaving, with one woman grabbing the man who threw the punch and another hitting him (

A 35-second cellphone clip taken by a man named Robert Litall was posted on

“It obviously doesn’t show everything that happened,” someone who commented on Facebook said last night.

“Fight started in the stands with two girls fighting. And moved out to where I shot the video,” ” the person who sent the video to deadspin.com wrote. “Beer was thrown and clothing over the balcony. Security went after the guy. Didn’t see what happened after that.”
